Floral and pretty on the nose with hints of lemon verbena, tarragon, pollen and vanilla accenting the sweet red apple and pear fruit. Medium-bodied but rich and creamy, with a fine core of ripe apple and almost peachy fruit accented with a touch of wood spice, some honeycomb and a low note of fennel seed. There’s real succulent acidity here, so even though this is creamy and rich, it’s refreshing and remains focused right through modest and lightly oaky finish. Shows style and elegance. 89pts
